Yup, looks like he's staying offshore. And probably making some good time. Great if you're in a hurry. But you miss some wonderful stuff on the way. I guess he's in "delivery mode" instead of cruising mode. Seems to me Skip really likes *sailing* Not too many restaurant reports from him. After his initial mishap, the wind has carried him many miles. I'll bet that sticks in some craws. --Vic |

I clicked on my original and brought up their current path. Nope. Just a blank page with SPOT logo. The SPOT site isn't very helpful. http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?&glId=0sKGa9AJRCF45FaX5L5g6PLcZGvSb3 nMe Try the above. If it doesn't work copy and pasted it all into you browser. (except the carets which are included to make it one continuous link. It works for me but poor Skippy must either be motoring or has very light winds as he seems to be going very slowly. Maybe bucking some Gulf Stream current. Wilbur Hubbard |

Position 48, 49, and 50 shows a turn toward Cape Charles. But, he can't make it before nightfall so I hope he's familiar with the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. Perhaps he's shooting for a morning arrival. Wilbur Hubbard |

From my position in Denmark, just out of curiosity, I tried the link to SPOT, and I can now see track 50 of the Flying Pig ... no problems. It seems they have turned to about NW ... from a southerly course - right? Latitude : 37.0018 Longitude : -74.3879 Time : 3. oktober 2008 21:55:48 - This is local time Copenhagen ... among others .... Here in Scandinavia, we have free access to www.gpsgate.com ... similar service ... you "just" need an internet connection ... -- best regards Flemming Torp - Gimle - X-342 - DEN-61 - Helsingør |

Looks like maybe he's heading for Ocean City inlet? How about Tom's Cove? I don't have a detailed chart, is it deep enough there? Cheers Marty |

Belay that, just downloaded the chart, no where near enough water in there! Cheers Marty |
